The campaign brings awareness and education to a wide variety of audiences using different learning approaches. Through classroom visits, an interactive website, an award-winning computer game, songs, music videos, dogs, enhanced learning activities, public service ads, teacher/peer mentor workshops and geocaching, Water Rocks offers an original, light-hearted approach to this vast topic.
